“Archie Bunker for President”
Remember how we said the producers were sure people would be insulted by the show but they weren’t? Well, looks like they definitely loved Archie Bunker, so much so that some even created “Archie Bunker for President” bumper stickers and campaign buttons. Furthermore, there was even a bestseller paperback that took the world by storm, The Wit and Wisdom of Archie Bunker.
Budgetry Concerns
Originally the plan was for the theme tune to be played by an orchestra. Although there were some budgetary concerns so they producers were ahead with Carroll O’Connor and Jean Stapleton playing the song at the piano. Good choice in the end, we’d say!
